    Yes, many parts will be common.
    Nearly all the structural part are identical.
    There are trim/color differences between the Caprice and Impala (Caprice trim looked more luxurious).
    I don't remember if interior colors were common from 79 to 80.

    The bigger appearance changes occurred from 80 to 81.

    Thank you for the responce i thought things changed from 79/80 so thats good to know. it would be nice to see an actuall pic but for 500 even if i just used the bumpers for spare i think that would cover the cost of the car.

    77 caprice body on a 9C1

    There's a guy on another forum putting a 77 caprice body on a 9C1 frame. It's a 94 if I remember right, so he'll have all the LT1 drive train, anti-lock brakes, and modern goodies on an older car. Says the swap is relatively simple. same wheel base, similar body mounts. Says there's a lot of similaritys between all B bodys.

    And yes they do still make Fords but most all of the good ones were made before the turn of the century. :)
